Default CG JetSpeed Dryer

anyone use this? im wondering how it works on non polished and waxed cars? will the water still come off better than towel drying? is it as powerful as they say it is?

looks like a great value.

I have not had the greatest luck with blow drying cars dry. It works for the cracks and all those things, but my leafblower left me being disappointed. Not sure how different Paul's machine is...

I've never tried the CG unit but I think I will be purchasing the Power Dry Air Wand from Patrick at Excel.

It attaches to any 2.5" hose for leaf blowers or wet/dry vacuums. Here's a short video demonstration of it in action. Pictures of the unit can be seen here.

Also, you have to make sure that your vehicles are properly beading (aka sealed or waxed) to use these devices.

yup, that was what I was looking for, it its not beading good it wont work,

so its much more of a maintenence tool opposed to a speeding up your detailing process for clients

1. CG Unit is very nice and very good for light duty clean ups due to the weight
2. Electric blowers from HD/Lowes are better for real drying
3. Electric is better than Gas because of price, and also gas is said to emit a light film on the car.

I have one very similar to the CG one. It looks identical. Get a leaf blower. The air flow is much better.

you can get a nice leaf blower at wal mart for less than 30.00 and works great..I use one all the time...it gets all the water out of the cracks and mirrors and door handles...and blows the paint dry..what ever is left you just blot with a MF towel....

look in the garden section of wal mart...I paid 26.99 for mine..best tool I bought for washing and drying a car....
